Subject: RE: Getaway 2004 - MEMORIES
Woke my hubby up last night when I started laughing about memories I was replaying in my head.

The skiffle porch jam with Max, Jeff, Jim and Dani was definitely a highlight. The dynamic duo of Tinker and Sinsull (AKA Mutt & Jeff)Alaska Mike's wonderful bass harmonies. Rita sharing the song she wrote (I Like (love?) Trees, Not Tail-lights)in the Nature et.al. sing around, and the story of its making, acompanied by the rain, thunder and lightning, with the Rainbow as a grand finale to the workshop!!! I felt like we had summoned all of it with our singing.

Have you ever seen such wonderfully open, clear-eyed, friendly faces as those of Judy and Dennis Cook? Well, maybe Joe Offer is a match for them. The sheepish look on Allan C.'s face as he confessed to never have played a kazoo before. Getting the beautiful scarlett runner bean seeds from Lynn, and the shared love of gardening and plants with Bobert and Lynn,all of us talking a hundred miles an hour. Charlie Baum's half elfish-half buddha smile. Being serenaded by Dick Greenhaus just outside his booth just because I was lucky enough to be walking by when the spirit moved him to burst into song!
Our servers just went down so I hope I don't lose this post.
